In the previous blog, we discussed how serverless architecture can help eliminate the need of managing physical servers and how developers can quickly build and deploy applications without worrying about the underlying architecture. But this sparks a question in people’s mind, does all this cloud technology makes IT folks redundant? Let’s answer that in today’s blog. So grab a coffee and let’s go!
To start, let's consider what the heck is cloud. In simple terms, the cloud is a network of servers that are accessible over the internet. Instead of having to store data and run applications on your own hardware, you can access the same resources through the cloud. This allows businesses to save money on hardware and maintenance, while also allowing for greater flexibility and scalability.
Now, you might be wondering, if the cloud is taking care of all these tasks, does this mean that IT personnel are no longer needed? The short answer is no. While it is true that some traditional IT tasks, such as managing physical servers, are becoming less necessary with the rise of the cloud, IT personnel are still very much in demand.
In fact, the cloud is creating new opportunities for IT professionals. For example, cloud security is becoming a critical concern for businesses, and IT personnel with expertise in this area are in high demand. The cloud also requires a different set of skills and knowledge, such as understanding cloud architecture, deployment, and management. As such, IT personnel who are able to adapt and acquire these new skills will be in a strong position to take advantage of the opportunities created by the cloud.
Consider the example of Amazon Web Services (AWS), which offers a suite of cloud computing services. AWS has created thousands of jobs, including those in development, architecture, and operations. By offering a range of cloud-based services, AWS has created a new ecosystem of jobs that didn't exist before the cloud.
In conclusion, the cloud is not making IT jobs obsolete. Instead, it is creating new opportunities and requiring IT personnel to develop new skills. So, if you're an IT professional, don't fear the cloud. Embrace it and see how you can use it to take your career to the next level. The future of IT is bright, and the cloud is an integral part of it. That’s it for today, will be back with some amazing blogs next week, stay tuned.
